With the advances in and expansion of the semiconductor and display businesses in Korea the demand of the engineers in such fields is increasing. Keeping pace with the trend, the semiconductor courses in undergraduate not only include the newest technologies in addition to the fundamental theories but fabrication related technologies as well in order to produce engineers with practical knowledge. However, since semiconductor fabrication requires expensive equipment and materials in a clean room, laboratory class can't be provided in undergraduate. To overcome this limitation actual fabrication processes are recorded in video and played in class. In addition, 3D visualization of fabrication processes can be used.

A locally damaged structure is a structure that cannot be reused due to having parts that have lost their structural function as a result of abnormal load across the interior or exterior of the structure. The causes of the abnormal load occurrences can be classified into natural disaster and artificial disaster. Locally damaged structures caused by this abnormal load have risk factors that may lead to the possibility of additional secondary collapses, so such structures require immediate and complete dismantling. The case presented in this study involves the application of explosive demolition to a steel truss structured bridge in the Philippines that was damaged due to construction failures and the hurricane. Although shaped charges were needed in explosive demolitions, difficulties in locally obtaining such material. So, we made a charge container to charging of emulsion explosive during the explosive demolition. The explosive demolition resulted in the vertical free fall of the mid-section of the bridge and the free fall rotating of the both end section of the bridge. The neighboring posts and bridge piers did not show signs of damages, while post-demolition fragmentation of removed parts was found to be satisfactory.

When concrete is exposed to neutron rays for a long time, the concrete tends to become activated. If activated, it is classified as middle or low level radioactive waste. However, the great amount of the activated concrete is hard to dispose. In this study, low-activation cement was developed for decreasing the activated waste from shielding concrete around nuclear reactor. Furthermore, the manufactured low-activation was analyzed with activation nuclide Eu, Co. The low-activation cement showed great advantage for low-activation with detecting none of Eu and 3.75ppm of Co while ordinary portland cement showed 0.4~0.9ppm of Eu, 5.5~19.8ppm of Co content. As the results of physical properties of the low-activation cement, it is similar to type 1 ordinary portland cement and accords with type 4 low heat portland cement. Meanwhile, as for the chemical properties of the cement, it accords wite type 1 and 4 at the same time.

The use of recycled aggregates is increasing due to problems of lack of natural aggregates. But there are no appropriate design recommendations and basic data for structural members using recycled fine aggregate concrete. This paper is to evaluate compression behavior of reinforced concrete column with displacement level of recycled fine aggregate. For these purpose, four recycled fine aggregate replacement levels (0%, 30%, 60%, 100%) were considered in this paper. Four columns with 400mm${\times}$400mm in cross section are tested under axial load. Experimental results were compared using current code(KCI2007). Compressive strength of reinforced concrete columns with recycled fine aggregate showed higher than that provided in KCI 2007. The KCI provision were conservative and subsequently can be used for design of reinforced recycled fine aggregate concrete column.

하천은 크게 이수와 치수 및 환경 등의 주요 기능을 가지고 있다. 이수는 하천과 물이 주는 가치를 말하며, 치수는 기능이라기보다는 엄밀한 의미에서 하천관리를 통한 자연재해 방지를 의미한다. 이러한 이 치수 기능의 확보와 수변환경 조성을 위해 친환경적 수리구조물인 가동보의 설치가 증가 하고 있다. 가동보는 하천에 주로 설치되는 수리구조물 중의 하나로 국내에서는 2000년대부터 고정보를 대신하여 설치가 시작 되었으며, 최근 친환경적 하천정비 및 다양한 목적 등으로 국내 하천에 약 1,200여개의 가동보가 설치 및 운영되고 있다. 국내에 적용되고 있는 가동보 중 개량형 가동보의 제작 및 시공기술은 해외의 원천기술을 도입한 것으로 자재 수급 및 유지보수가 용이하지 못할 뿐만 아니라, 국내 여건에 맞지 않아 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 수자원 확보 및 수변 공간 조성 등을 위해 1) 기존 스틸소재의 개량형 가동보를 하이브리드(GFRP+스틸)소재로 개발하고, 2) 상류에 유하되는 이물질을 수위 저하 없이 하류로 배출하기 위해 각 경간의 개별 작동시스템을 개발하며, 3) 효율적인 하천 관리를 위하여 가동보 상단으로 월류 되는 하천 유량을 계측하기 위한 실시간 유량측정 시스템 개발 등으로 첨단 하이브리드 가동보를 개발하였다. 개발결과 기존 개량형 가동보의 단점인 부식해결로 인해 내구성을 확보하였으며, 경간별 개별 작동시스템 적용으로 하천 수위 조절이 가능하였다. 또한 실시간 유량 계측 시스템 적용으로 실시간 하천유량 계측이 가능해 개발된 기술을 국내 가동보에 적용한다면 원활한 하천 수위 관리 및 실시간 유량 측정이 가능하여 안전한 하천관리가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In Korea, numerous large-scale infrastructure construction projects and housing site developments are being undertaken. However, due to limited land availability, sourcing high-quality backfill materials that meet the standards for railroad and road embankment compaction and mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall construction poses significant challenges. Concurrently, there has been an increase in structural failures of many MSE retaining walls, attributed primarily to reduced bearing capacity and impaired drainage performance, resulting from inadequate backfill compaction. This study aimed to analyze the structural performance and safety of an MSE retaining wall using recycled soil as backfill. We conducted small-scale model tests utilizing 3D printing technology combined with two-dimensional numerical analysis. The study quantitatively evaluated the MSE retaining wall's performance concerning the recycled soil mixing ratio and reinforcement installation methods. Furthermore, the utility of 3D printing was confirmed through the production of an experimental wall designed to facilitate easy reinforcement attachment, mirroring the conditions of actual MSE retaining wall construction.

For the last half a century, the personal computer and software industries have been prosperous due to the incessant evolution of computer systems. In the 21st century, the embedded system market has greatly increased as the market shifted to the mobile gadget field. While a lot of multimedia gadgets such as mobile phone, navigation system, PMP, etc. are pouring into the market, most industrial control systems still rely on 8-bit micro-controllers and simple application software techniques. Unfortunately, the technological barrier which requires additional investment and higher quality manpower to overcome, and the business risks which come from the uncertainty of the market growth and the competitiveness of the resulting products have prevented the companies in the industry from taking advantage of such fancy technologies. However, high performance, low-power and low-cost hardware and software platforms will enable their high-technology products to be developed and recognized by potential clients in the future. This paper presents such a platform for industrial embedded systems. The platform was designed based on Telechips TCC8300 multimedia processor which embedded a variety of parallel hardware for the implementation of multimedia functions. And open-source Embedded Linux, TinyX and GTK+ are used for implementation of GUI to minimize technology costs. In order to estimate the expected performance and power consumption, the performance improvement and the power consumption due to each of enabled hardware sub-systems including YUV2RGB frame converter are measured. An analytic model was devised to check the feasibility of a new application and trade off its performance and power consumption. The validity of the model has been confirmed by implementing a real target system. The cost can be further mitigated by using the hardware parts which are being used for mass production products mostly in the cell-phone market.

$^3He$ gas has been used for neutron monitors as the neutron converter owing to its advantages such as high sensitivity, good ${\gamma}$-discrimination capability, and long-term stability. However, $^3He$ is becoming more difficult to obtain in last few years due to a global shortage of $^3He$ gas. Accordingly, the cost of a neutron monitor using $^3He$ gas as a neutron converter is becoming more expensive. Demand on a neutron monitor using an alternative neutron conversion material is widely increased. $^{10}B$ has many advantages among various $^3He$ alternative materials, as a neutron converter. In order to develop a neutron converter using $^{10}B$ (actually $B_4C$), we calculated the optimal thickness of a neutron converter with a Monte Carlo simulation using MCNP6. In addition, a neutron converter was fabricated by the Ar sputtering method and the neutron signal detection efficiencies were measured with respect to various thicknesses of fabricated a neutron converter. Also, we developed a 2-dimensional multi-wire proportional chamber (MWPC) for neutron beam profile monitoring using the fabricated a neutron converter, and performed experiments for neutron response of the neutron monitor at the 30 MW research reactor HANARO at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. The 2-dimensional MWPC with boron ($B_4C$) neutron converter was proved to be useful for neutron beam monitoring, and can be applied to other types of neutron imaging.

The Neolithic shell midden in Daejuk-ri, Seosan, is distributed on the gentle slope of a low hill close to the west coast. The bedrock of the area consists mainly of schist with various mafic minerals, but shows a partial gneiss pattern. The site consists of loamy topsoil and clay loam subsoil, and the degree of siallization is relatively low. Although the pottery excavated from the shell midden shares mostly similar features, a variety of shapes and patterns coexist. The surface colors, thickness and physical properties are slightly different. The pottery can be subdivided into three types (IA, IB and II) according to the composition of the body clay, the temper and the existence of a black core. Types IA and IB are colorless mineral pottery with a non-black or black core respectively. TypeII is colored mineral pottery with a non-black core. Type I pottery also contains non-plastic colored minerals, but type II contains a large amount of biotite, chlorite, talc, amphibole, diopside and tremolite, which include a large amount of Mg and Fe. The studied pottery contains a small amount of organic matter. Considering the grain size and relatively poor sorting and roundness of the non-plastic particles, the pottery appears to be made by adding coarse non-plastic tempers for special purposes to the untreated weathered soil around the site. The three types of pottery seem to have been incompletely fired in general. While type IB has the lowest degree of oxidation, typeII shows the highest degree of redness and oxidation. It can be interpreted that these differences depend on the firing temperature and the ratio of non-plastic particles. Through a synthesis of the minerals, geochemical data and thermal history, it can be determined that the firing temperature ranged from 600 to 700℃. The pottery types of the Daejuk-ri Shell Midden have slightly different production conditions, mineral compositions, and physical properties, but have undergone similar production processes with basically the same clay materials. The clay is almost identical to the composition of the bedrock and weathered soil distributed in the Daejuk-ri area. Currently, there is an industrial complex in the area, so it is difficult to confirm the soil and geological distribution of the site. However, it is highly probable that the area around the site was self-sufficient for the clay and tempers required for the production of the Neolithic pottery. Therefore, it can be interpreted that the group that left the shell midden in Daejuk-ri lived near the site, visited the site for the purpose of collecting and processing shellfish, and discarded the broken pottery along with shells.
